Sculpture "La Maternité" de Toros aux Jardins d'Arménie

La Maternité is the first sculpture to be installed in Bourg de Péage by the Syrian artist of Armenian origin, Rast-Klan TOROS. Les jardins d'Arménie is a green space dedicated to the memory of the Armenian diaspora, which is very present in the Drôme.

Through its monuments and statues, Toros also questions the history of its origins and the Armenian Genocide.

Toros : This child of Aleppo left school at the age of 11 and experimented with several trades: welder, locksmith, wrought-iron worker. He gradually turned to sculpture following a trip to Armenia.
Settling in France in 1967, from his studio in Roman, this self-taught artist works in brass and bronze. His style is uncluttered, with smooth curves and stylized but never abstract sculpture.
His recurrent works are a vibrant tribute to women, whose curves and lines he voluptuously reveals as an inexhaustible theme.
